Thank you Minotaur and NetGalley for the eARC of Of Manners and Murder!  All opinions in this review are my own.

This is a great start to the new historical mystery series!  I loved the Dear Miss Hermoine angle and I can't wait to see how that factors into future mysteries!

The mystery itself kept me guessing until the end!  I liked how the author presented a list of suspects right from the beginning so you were already suspicious of certain characters.  I liked how everything came together at the end of the novel.

However, I wasn't a huge fan of the cut scenes that followed Violet's sister Sephora.  Luckily, it all makes sense by the end, but I liked Violet much more than her sister so the interspersed chapters were something to just get through in order to get back to the real mystery.

Overall, this is a quick cozy mystery and I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series!
